To be fair all my mates who were 'anti Wood' last season and the start of this have been won round, as has the vast majority , if not all, the match going crowd. They accept that he is leaner and fitter than last time and , obviously, his confidence is sky high at present.
It does make me laugh (and wonder how much they really know) when pundits go on about his ariel ability. He is average in the air, Saturday was only his third or fourth headed goal. He is decent in the air when defending corners but that is because Jansson attacks the ball and Bartley takes the 'big man' that leaves Wood up against a lesser player. He does not win that many headers in attack either flick ons or corners etc, just enough to be decent but no better than that, it is his power, strength and ability with the ball on the floor that makes him special and short of getting a £10m plus Premier League star I really doubt we could do better than him. Of course he has faults and that is why he is at Leeds and not Chelsea or Man City. I do think he will have lots of lesser Premier League teams sniffing after him if we don't go up and if he were to leave he would be a massive loss. Can he score goals at a higher level ? I reckon 'yes' he can , given the service he wants which is not hoofing it in the air to the big lad, dave From: Richard Naef <rich...@triumph-computers.co.uk> To: "leeds list (leedslist@gn.apc.org)" <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Sent: Monday, 20 March 2017, 11:13 Subject: [LU] Typical bloody grauniad...
